May 3. We awake to find we are anchored at Bahia Sullivan near Isla Bartolome just east of Isla Santiago. We’re off to another early start. At 6:45 we’re in the pangas heading to the beach. This is a dry landing, so we keep our shoes on.
We’re walking on very rough lava, so shoes are required. I was fascinated by the patterns in the lava and by the few plants that were eking out an existence in the harsh environment. After the morning adventure we’re back on board for breakfast at 8:15. After breakfast we weigh anchor and transit to Isla Seymour Norte. At noon we climb into our wetsuits, grab our snorkels and fins and go for a swim. I wasn’t finding much to photograph so I turned the camera on myself and the fellow swimmers.
Lunch is at 1:00 and at 4:00 we land on Isla Seymour Norte. Here we are able to get quite close to the iguanas, blue footed boobies and frigate birds. The afternoon sun provides nice lighting for photography.
In the evening, we give a toast to our guide and crew for a most excellent cruise.
More photos of the days adventure are available in an online gallery.
